show you what's going on inside her garage. if we walk you in there, you can see the mess on the floor. but even worse than that, the mess once you get inside. there was actually a refrigerator standing up. it's toppled over. what you can't see, the back room is a mess. just recarpeted and redid this area. she said this is so devastating to look at. we talked to her neighbor and her neighbor gave us a look inside her home. was he down here when the water started -- >> yes. >> reporter: how do you get this cleaned up? are they gonna come help you? >> yeah. my son upstairs start crying, though. >> reporter: this is his stuff. >> yeah, yeah. it's bad. we have to keep going. >> reporter: you are taking a look at some incredible shot earlier this morning when the water was still flowing. unbelievable.

but you get an idea of really what residents woke up to when the water came down. it was flowing for about an hour, hour and a half, according to the people we've talked to out here. what it was doing was flowing underground and destroying the ground before the water came up. that created a sinkhole. about 5:30, at first, it was just a depression in the ground. they didn't realize the kind of damage there was but then as the morning progressed, the asphalt just started ving way and that's how the sinkhole was created. and so now they are having to dig up the ground and they are not sure how big that sinkhole is gonna get but they are keeping an eye on that. coming out here live, you can see heavy machinery, this mud is thick. the stuff sitting on this roadway, we've seen them picking it up with shovels. if you can see -- if i push along to the ground here -- we got our boots on right now, if we push along how deep it gets,

it's thick. you are not washing it down any of the drains. they have heavy machinery and they are gonna clear it out of here. they are trying to do that now. this will obviously take a while. we're watching the situation and will keep you updated on "mornings on 2". live in san francisco, claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, claudine. obviously -- the road is closed there. i believe that road is near san francisco state university. that would be good for people to know about. i'm sure sal has other traffic situations to tell us about, including the bay bridge toll plaza. >> yeah, fortunately, that area is not causing any major delays. we just heard from muni. they sent out a tweet saying they don't have any major delays on that area. we'll let you know more about that. let's take a look at the commute here at the bay bridge toll plaza. the traffic is moving along relatively well. there are no major problems here. but it's about a 25-minute

then the roll overcrash shortly thereafter. and it looks like the car is a two-door older model vehicle. it doesn't appear that the home had any damage. in terms of southbound 280, the lanes have been cleared for several hours for now. as for the teenagers, they were taken to a nearby hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. sheriff's officials tell us that the parents were notified by this incident and they were leased -- released on their own recognizance. brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. about this time tomorrow, pope benedict xvi will officially step down. earlier today, he spoke to an adoring crowd backed in the st. peter's square. amy kellogg is live in rome outside of vatican city where the pope's public address was mixed with sadness and joy.

amy? >> reporter: that's true, tori. i think this is a dramatic day because, frankly, we may never see pope benedict xvi again. there will be a couple of photo- ops tomorrow. he said he wants to go into solution. he wants to spend the rest of his life in prayer still dedicated to the church but behind the scenes, kind of cloistered in the vatican walls. there's that and how often do you get to say goodbye to a pope? traditionally, popes pass away and then another one is elected. this pope has taken the rather courageous, some would say, decision to step down because he didn't feel he has the strength anymore to carry on. today, normally the wednesday audience would be a catechism. this was more of his gaving thanks to the -- giving thanks to the faithful for their prayers and to all of the people in the church, the priests and cardinals and the bishops who have helped him in his work.

he also thanked people for understanding his decision to step down because it was also controversial. there are those who believe that the pope should stick it out to the end. it's not a regular job that you can retire from. it's something that god has asked you to do. he indicated how difficult that decision had been for him to take. he thanked people for accepting that that was his choice. now, tomorrow, there will be as i said, a few more opportunities to see the pontiff. he will leave here by chopper tomorrow in the late afternoon, early evening and he will go to the summer residence for a while until his new digs in the vatican walls are ready for him in a few months' time. back to you. >> can you give us a time frame of when the conclave will get together in the selection of a new pope? i know normally there is a 15- day period but that's been waived because of this new situation. >> reporter: the pope said this

can begin sooner, right. cardinals and priests and all sorts of people attached to the catholic church have been pouring into rome these past couple of days. more than half of the cardinals are already here. they will start a college of the cardinals and that will begin on march 4th. they will set a date on the conclave then. we believe it will be the 8th or 10th. there's no waying how long that will take. they vote -- saying how long that will take. they vote and burn the ballots after each vote. when we see white smoke and not black smoke that means a new pope has been selected. we don't know when that will happen. but that's roughly the plan. >> a little bit of -- out of our hands. back to you. >> we'll be watching. 8:38. we're watching sal right now. our commute -- you are watching south bay.
